"Do we even know what we are going to do when we get
there?" David asked Hod as they were driving in his car. Mrs. Lords had
been very helpful showing them how to find Claire's phone and track it by gps.
She had said that the codes changed all the time, so she didn't feel bad about
showing them.
"Well for now we
don't even know where 'there' is." Hod said from beside him. Hod had such
a look of determination on his face that his vacant eyes practically glowed.
They were so sharp that David thought Hod could see out of them. As soon as
they had left the Lords residence, Hod had grabbed his backpack from the back
seat and pulled out a couple of rolls of white athletic tape. He then began to
wrap his hands and knuckles with the tape.
"Well, it seems
like you know what you are going to do when we get there," David said.
"I'm just trying
to be prepared," Hod replied. He started wrapping his other hand, using
the long rolls of tape to go between his fingers. David noticed Hod was putting
a lot of tape over his knuckles. They drove in silence, the only sound was of
Hod taping his hands. Finally David turned on the radio.
"Hod, is that
'Flight of the Valkyries'?" David asked.
Hod smiled grimly. "Why, yes it is," He said,
punching his fist into his hand to test the tape.
